Applying for Social Security Disability benefits can be a complicated task. Many applicants don’t fill out the correct paperwork or are unaware of all the documents they must provide. According to the Disability Benefits Center, that’s a main reason why 60% of initial disability claims are denied in Tennessee.
If you are applying for benefits in Nashville, you must provide information and documents to both the Tennessee Disability Determination Services office and the Social Security Administration (SSA) in Washington.

Types of Injuries
The Social Security Administration acknowledges that they have a strict definition of disability. The department only allocates benefits to an individual if they have a total disability that has lasted for at least one year.
The SSA defines a total disability as an impairment that prevents an individual from working in a previous role or being able to adjust to other work conditions. For example, the SSA considers the inability to walk, stand, lift, carry objects, or remember as significant impairments.
The Social Security Administration considers certain conditions under the following categories as significant impairments. Keep in mind that this list pertains to adults aged 18 and above. There is a list of qualifying medical conditions for those under 18 on the Social Security Administration website.
- Cancer (malignant neoplastic diseases)
- Cardiovascular system impairments
- Congenital disorders that affect multiple body systems
- Digestive system impairments
- Endocrine disorders
- Genitourinary disorders
- Hematological disorders
- Immune system disorders
- Mental disorders
- Musculoskeletal system impairments
- Neurological disorders
- Respiratory disorders
- Skin disorders
- Special sense or speech impairments
However, SSA still denies plenty of legitimate disability claims from people in Nashville. If your claim has been denied, don’t give up. These situations are exactly what our experienced Social Security Disability attorneys at Steinger, Greene & Feiner have fought against and resolved for decades.
